My Interview with Doli, Owner of Delish Bath
Meet Doli Lopez, Owner of www.delishbath.ca
Where are you located? Calgary, Alberta Canada
What do you design? Handcrafted bath & body products.
Where/How did you learn this? I took a short 2 hours class on how to make bath bombs and my passion for making bath products just grew from there!
Favorite Artist who inspires you? My inspiration doesn’t come from just one artist, it stems from all the creative independent artists out there that you see on places like Etsy, Wickedly Chic etc. Their ideas are just so unique and creative that it inspires me to create fun products.
Where does your inspiration come from? My inspiration comes not only from other artists, but just from everyday objects or events in life. You take something that you admire and build from it.
What do you do to combat creative block? Listen to my favorite music and eat a lot of popsicles 
Where do you design your creations? Mainly in my kitchen or my wee office on my desk.
What does your work space look like right now? Oh dear, it was clean yesterday, but let’s see what my desk is littered with right now…labels, tape, scissors, usb sticks, invoices, candy (nothing to do with work, I just like candy!) and my pretty pink laptop!
How does your family feel about what you do? My family is very supportive and thinks what I’ve started for myself is great. They are some of my best customers!
Do you have any advice for someone looking to make their own creations using this method? I say go for it! There’s nothing more empowering than doing what you are passionate about! But, I would suggest doing all your research ahead of time and keep track of everything, trust me, it helps in the long run
Best advice you received when starting your business venture? “Make sure you keep track of everything somewhere.”
Favorite part of owning your own business? Setting my own hours, making my own decisions and best of all…using my own product! It’s great knowing that the hard work I put into it will help me succeed and not just some corporation I work for.
Least favorite? The learning curves that I’ve gone through and not being able to delegate any work. I am the accountant, the marketer, the buyer, the seller, the web designer, the product tester etc. and sometimes…it gets exhausting!
How do you relax? Depends on my mood, sometimes all it takes is a nice hot bath where other times I’ll actually relax by doing simple design work like updating my brochures.
Favorite color? Pink.
Does this color show up in a lot of your work? You bet! This is the main theme of which my business revolves around
If there were more hours in the day, what would you be doing? Aside from building my business, spending time with my puppy and my husband There’s nothing better!
